What to see in Vila Real de Santo António
Must-sees
Vila Real de Santo António was built in the 18th century on the same Enlightenment plan as Lisbon's Baixa: a grid of streets around Marquês de Pombal square, with its black-and-white stone paving. It faces the Guadiana and, on the other side, Ayamonte.
Three kilometres away is Monte Gordo, with one of the longest beaches in the Algarve and some of its warmest water, between the sea and the pine wood of the Mata Nacional. To the north, Castro Marim has a castle and marshes with flamingos.
